Ivy's POV
I lunged at the wolf attacking the pup, dispatching it swiftly. Turning toward the terrified family, I approached cautiously, sniffing to ensure none were injured. "You're safe now. Find the nearest building and lock yourselves in," I instructed.
The mother and child continued sobbing, but the father managed a grateful nod. "Thank you... Alpha..." he stammered, trailing off uncertainly.
I realized they were too frightened to properly scent me. "I'm Killian, Ivy's wolf," I clarified, licking blood from my muzzle to appear less threatening. Unexpectedly, the little girl threw herself against my leg.
"You're completely safe, Kimi," I reassured her. "Now please go with your parents and stay protected." The parents quickly collected their daughter from my side and hurried into a nearby house. I waited until I heard multiple doors slam and locks click before racing toward another distress call.
